Prayer flags on a shrine in Tibet.
Prayer sticks at the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine. Shrines are related to the indigenous Japanese religion of Shinto, the belief that kami spirits reside in all elements of nature including trees, rocks, rivers and mountains. Shrines are built on sacred grounds called jinja and are accessed through a torii gate.
